Day 3!

Where are we better this offseason?

1) LB. Burks, Knight, and Carter. And Pratt is still on the roster. Pratt sucked the past 2 years, one of the 3 added is an upgrade and possibly huge upgrade.

2) G. But only marginally. More bodies woth Patrick, Fairchild, and Rivers. Bilut none screams quality starter at present (we should have taken Frazier instead). And there is no eay we go FA G now. Cappa sucked last year, Volson sucked last year. We added not 1 but 2 guards to compete for starting jobs, one gave up no sacks in 2 years playing in the SEC and other seems to pssibly better if he can stay healthy. Also, I would not be surprised if we add a vet after June 1


3) Starting DT pair. Slaton should be an improvement vs the run McKinley and Jenkins are 2nd year guys, let's see how well Golden can coach since he did not draft a DT

Worse? 

1) CB. We lost Hilton. No replacement. I may be wrong, but I think if we dont resign Hilton, Hill becomes the nickel back on 3rd down and Britt or Newton are on the outside opposite Turner. You did not mention our 2 starting CB's missed most of 2025, so huge + if they come back healthy.
2) S. We lost Bell. No replacement. No depth behind poor starters. Bell sucked last year, he was already replaced ny battle. We also have Anderson and Anthony to compete for PT.
3) DT depth. Still only 4 on the team.Yep 4, but arguably a lot better than Rankins (no production) and they righted a wrng by signing Slaton.

That is a C offseason at best. 

Trey & Pratt are unresolved. Trey is a Bengal in 2025 and Pratt will not be, it is resolved and unless Pratt works his ass off and shows something in camp, he is cut or traded.

I am not a believer in grades, but heading into 2025 on paper, we are a much better team in my humble opionion. I hope I am right and you missed by a lot on your grades and negative ranking of our off season.
